Vitus ClausenMarch 15Bouncers smoking weed on the job and tried to take my real NY ID assuming it was fake. Terrible at their job. The short Hispanic guy with face tattoos was certainly on drugs or under the influence.
Alex PelleJanuary 24, 2016Do not go to this bar! Bouncers were slamming doors, cursing and screaming at patrons, and sexually harassing my friend by demanding she show her breasts as a price for admission. Stay away!
Avoid on a Saturday night if claustrophobia is real for you.
Dani WardFebruary 15, 2010they have REALLY long, huge, hilarious plungers in the bathroom that i once mistook for pool cues
- This place has an amazing patio. Also I have gone on to lose my phone twice after being here.
- $3 beer and a shot before 7:30. Plus great bar.. And a leopard print pool table..
say you are Brett Garrett at the door and get VIP treatment
Wearing your sunglasses in a dark bar at night doesn't make you look cool "bro", it makes you look like an asshole.

"A wonderful place. Great camaraderie between imbibers and servers alike. A darker, cozier and slightly smaller place but it's off the busy path and ready to serve a good drink at a good price."
